Youth With Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders Have More Sleep Disturbances. A School-Based Study.
Article in Neurogastroenterology and motility, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07216092 (The Role of Audio-recorded Gut-hypnotherapy on Sleep Disturbance, Sleep-related Impairment and Abdominal Pain in Pediatric Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders), which is not on this map.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
backgroundThere is a bidirectional relationship between sleep and pain disturbances. Sleep disturbances increase the risk for chronic pain, while chronic pain can interfere with sleep. Hence, we assessed the subjective sleep characteristics of youth with functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) compared to healthy youth and examined associations with gastrointestinal symptoms.
methodsWe included youth ages 10-18 years without a sleep or organic GI disorder diagnosis from a large private school. Participants completed demographics, sleep history, and validated questionnaires: sleep quality (ASWS-SF), insomnia (PISI), daytime sleepiness (ESS), sleep disturbance (PROMIS SD), sleep-related impairment (PROMIS SRI), and Rome 4 diagnostic questionnaire. Cases (FAPDs) completed abdominal pain index (API), nausea severity (NSS), anxiety, depression (PROMIS), and functional disability (FDI). Parents filled sleep hygiene metrics (SHIP). Cases were matched 1:1 with controls based on age and gender.
resultsOf 120 youth (60 cases and 60 controls), the mean age was 13.5 ± 1.9 years and 50% were females. Youth with FAPDs had higher insomnia, sleep disturbance, sleep-related impairment, daytime sleepiness, sleep hygiene, gasping, and nightmares than healthy youth (p < 0.05). Higher insomnia severity was associated with worse abdominal pain (r = 0.41, p < 0.01), higher daytime sleepiness with a family history of disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs, OR = 14.7, p = 0.002), and higher sleep-related impairment (OR = 5.6, p = 0.02) and depression (OR = 6.1, p = 0.01) with black race.
conclusionYouth with FAPDs have worse sleep than healthy youth and multiple sleep parameters are associated with abdominal pain. Future studies could focus on determining mechanisms by which sleep disturbances affect abdominal pain and vice versa.
